OpenAI’s Alexander Embiricos is coming to TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 — days after the launch of Dots
OpenAI product lead Alexander Embiricos is scheduled to discuss the company's new 'Dots' AI agent at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026. The session will explore the shift from chatbots to autonomous agents that can perform background tasks and access personal data.
Why it matters
The transition to autonomous AI agents represents a significant evolution in consumer technology, raising critical questions about user privacy and the extent of control granted to AI systems.
OpenAI just made one of its biggest bets yet on what comes after the chatbot. Now, the person leading that product is coming to TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 , happening October 13-15.
Alexander Embiricos , product lead for Dots at OpenAI, will join us at Moscone West in San Francisco just days after the company unveiled its new always-on personal AI agent.
Dots are designed to go beyond answering prompts. They have their own cloud computers, can connect to the apps people use every day, and can keep working toward a goal in the background, potentially giving AI far greater access to our work and digital lives.

That increased autonomy also raises some much harder questions.
